I restored and tested for you. It does not work.

I suspect it might be because ACS is rebranding the network as ACS instead of Sprint but I'm not sure. If you go to Settings - About Phone - Status, you'll see that the entry for Network is no longer Sprint but ACS.

I wouldn't think that they'd base the network off of a simple string change but I guess they could have.

My question (now that it's been brought up) is this: Are we being proxied through an ACS server or was that just a vanity change?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tacotoy:
pretty sure its just a vanity change..... like about 99%

the improvements with the kernel and such over 1.0.2 are huge, i can actually type on the keyboard with no problems as fast as i want, it was starting to get annoying before

neocore is in the low 60's, quadrant is still around 1900 though?? thats with the processor clocked to 1300 and set to performance

ok im on acs 1.02 and was working fine, but today the earpiece started making popping sounds and doesn't work, odined back do di18 and earpiece works, reflashed, 1.02 rom and earpiece doesn't work again, any ideas
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
That's what I would assume as well. I don't think anyone would want the amount of traffic my porn sites generate on their servers. ;)

As far as arbitrary, epenis-enlarging benchmark numbers go...Smartbench 2010 is 1540 and 3044 but I guarantee that even at hundreds lower most people wouldn't even notice a difference in day to day use.

I put zero stock in benchmarks as a true test of a phone's capabilities but it's a nice number to test against your own phone each time. I wouldn't compare my scores to anyone else's, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lancelane:
I would have to agree that this is far from a Beta. I have used every stock ROM, Bonsai, Midnight and Frankenstein. This is far and away the best ROM for this phone. Almost every issue I have read (and I have read them all) has been user error or faulty equipment. Nearly all of those were fixed by statements from one of the developers or senior members.

I am embarresed for this guy that he would have the nerve to refer to the best ROM out there in this manner. Don't forget that it is free.

Sorry for the rant.

Battery Life

I took the plunge and installed my first custom rom, chose SRF because it was toted as the best in speed, reliability and the removal on CIQ. I must say, it lives up to it's reputation!

Having said this, I do have one "issue". Battery life is terrible! I came from EC05 rooted with no custom ROM. I have the same exact settings as I did before SRF and my battery is draining very fast. Prior to install, I could get over 30 hours with light/mod use, now it's around 8 hours.

For comparison sake, I use Ultimate Juicedefender with the same settings. I would shut down data from midnight - 6am. If I start at 100%, I would wake up and it would be at 95%. Same with SRF. What's strange is the battery drops off quickly after that now. Only difference I can see is the Cell Standby stat is using a huge percentage, not to be confused with TWS.

I love this ROM, but the battery drain is a big concern for me. Any suggestions/tips?

Side note, are all support issues supposed to be in this 1 thread or is there a specific forum just for SRF?

Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] formula84:
Just wanted to note that my charging batt issues have been resolved, I had to buy another batt though as my phone would not charge, was able to flash over the top and everything is good and kept my data intact. Thanks ACS for a great rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
Same here. My battery life has gone to absolute s*$t with 1.1. I've left my phone on overnight unplugged just to check the drain to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Went from 80% to 24% in the matter of 8 hours while I was sleeping. I used to be able to leave it unplugged all night and it would drop maybe 10% at the most, usually less. WiFi was the leading thing (by quite a bit) in the battery stats. 1.02 and previous Frozen roms I was getting spectacular battery life.

Done nothing different than before. I always leave WiFi on at home. LP widgets are set to 1 hour update intervals as I've always had them.

Between that issue and wired tether not currently working (I use it all the time), I'm sadly running a different rom until the kinks get worked out. Love this rom otherwise. My personal opinion is that the TWS fix may have negatively affected some phones. Sure I'm not getting 50%+ TWS in the battery stats now, but my radios are apparently a huge drain now. I honestly don't mind toggling airplane mode as I don't reboot my phone all that often anyway.

[Epic 4G Android Development] traumahawk:
another unhappy person with the battery life here.

i was getting GREAT battery life with previous version. i used it for like 3 days then 1.1 came out, so i updated. wish i'd kept the zip for it, because it ran for so much longer. even in standby mode my phone dies much faster than on other roms i've tried, including earlier versions of 1.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
what version were you using of 1.0.2? Standard or Fully loaded?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Just for reference my phone is working perfectly with this rom. The process I used was that I came from 1.0.2 with the EC05 modem Odin'd on top. I did a 3x data, cache, dalvik wipe and then installed 1.1.0. Not sure if it matters but figured I'd share.
[Epic 4G Android Development] traumahawk:
fully loaded. both back on malanga and now on takiya. with a lot of the extra stuff removed. most of it actually. and right now im restoring a nandroid from like 2 days ago (hoping i didnt make any major changes since then that im just not remembering) because im being swamped with fc's all of a sudden that i cant make go away (after rebooting phone, no battery pull). first issue i've had with journaling off.

*edit- yep. lost everything i did custom. luckily i have a spare copy of srf1.1 on my sd card that i pre-baked all my changes into before dropping it on my sd card (removing/adding apps, icons, backgrounds, wallpapers, animations, launcher, etc etc. total redo of image files in framework and applications) so a simple 3x wipe and reflash and i was back to how i was yesterday morning (albeit- nothing i have done/downloaded since, but w.e thats an easy fix)
[Epic 4G Android Development] stepchap:
So after a few freezes I wiped cache and dalvik and flashed again and it seems fine now. Haven't used the stock browser since then yet though which might have been the culprit. I usually use Dolphin anyway but was just trying out the stock one this morning. I'll mess around with the stock browser again and see if it still freezes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
So far I am very happy with the ACS 1.1 (no journalling notwithstanding). Great speed and stability, keyboard does not seem to skip letters anymore :) Great job ACS team. Decided to stay away from the Vision kernel since some reported issues with it, so am using the newest TW kernel. I am using ScreenFilter app to lower the screen brightness and so far battery life has been great - largely, because of the app (wonder if there is some way to bake in something similar with the next release as the screen is my worst power hog by far). Don't know about the TWS bug being fixed as I still have to toggle airplane mode after reboot and missed several calls when I didn't. Had one crash on wifi tether since I tried to use it with 4G... same issue, it would crash every time when a call comes in - it is the app problem though. Overall, very satisfied... could someone please post a way / link to activate journalling though CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
I too am experiencing awful battery life. I think that 1.02 didn't play nice with the EC radio because my standby battery drain was awful. 1.0.1 was a perfect blend of battery life and performance IMO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Almost flawless...., however browser does sometimes freeze causing u to do a battery pull. Browser also cannot save pictures to sd card without it force closing. Music player still cuts off at 10% battery left. Can these be easily fixed???
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
I haven't posted my reslts with the new 1.1 rom.

I love the new rom except the new browser hates multi tasking. I have to end it in task manager every time I wanna use it. As for battery life, idk yet it seems pretty good on my end so far

Also I too wanna know if the 5 icon dock verson of touch wiz will be compatable any time soon =) I recalled impaler said it was gunna be included in this release (mayb he thought I askd bout the battery bug) -_-

[Epic 4G Android Development] bertroid:
Freezing caused by data transfer?

I too have had freezing issues. I followed the OP instructions to the "T" and have had frequent freezes requiring a battery pull. I came from Bonsai but now have flashed the latest "Fully Loaded" without journaling 3 times with many cache and data wipes between each flash.

For me it appears the freezes come when I'm using anything that is "data heavy". I have locked up the phone using the stock browser multiple times. My phone has frozen while using the following apps; stock browser, Dolphin HD, market downloads, and Kongregate Arcade (flash based games that requires a data connection to download the games initially).

Maybe we can pin down the freezing causes for the Devs to hopefully find a solution.

Thanks for everything Syndicate!!!

Edit: At first I was not using Set CPU and was having freezes and now I'm using Set CPU on "conservative" at 200-1000 and still having the freezing issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Ok, got it flashed and things seems to going smooth(Not using LauncherPro Plus bookmark widget). With that being said, any recommendations on a CUSTOM KERNEL to go along with this? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It comes with one.

Browser issues - I will look into them, but they were not seen in testing. Wipe data before flashing the ROM if you're one of the few with problems.

Battery life - not the ROM! Charge your phone to 100% while off, then boot CWM and wipe battery stats. Also keep in mind that going up to 1.3ghz in SetCPU will eat more battery.

Freezing - never seen in testing. I will look into it as soon as possible. The way the ROM is designed, you should never see a freeze... ever. If you are one of the few with issues, please try the attached kernel, which is the version that came with 1.0.2. Be aware it will break the camcorder. If that clears it up, I'll pass it on to tanimn. If it doesn't, there's another factor.

Conservative governor - tanimn is aware it doesn't work perfectly. Use On Demand.

Sprint apps - the branding change is cosmetic. Mystery will have an addon for those of you who use the Sprint apps soon.

Thanks everyone for your support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
K,

I figured as much, I just thought someone might be trying a different Kernel for different results. With that being said, THANK YOU!

PS: On a side note, LP Plus bookmarks widgets is definitely causing FC issues. If that is something you can look at when you have time.

THANKS!

[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
The only freezing problem I have to report is that it happens to me when I am viewing my pics, mostly by means of the camera app, almost every time. Freezes solid, and I have to pull the battery, and in several cases restore all my data and even the rom backup that I made after the first clean flash.

If it comes down to it, I'll do everything from scratch, and possibly reformat the SD card as well- it's what I had to do on 1.02 to fight a data corruption problem.

Do try formatting the SD card for that one - sounds like oddities in photo data. If that doesn't work, try the kernel attached on the previous page to see if that fixes it. It may not, but if it does, that is useful data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
been usin the rom since yesterday and had my first SOD as well. followed all instructions not sure what happened tho. was jammin to pandora then tried to turn on my phone and nothin. music was still playin even tho screen wouldnt come on so i waited but as soon as the song i was listenin to ended, my phone rebooted and made the "connect/disconnect" sound for service connection and was stuck on ACS boot logo. runing 1.1 standard no journaling. since i had to do a battery pull i booted into clockwork, wiped cache and dalvik, left data and relashed ROM to avoid any FC's. seems to be workin fine now. if it keeps doing it im gonna start from scratch and follow up if anything else happens.

thank you ACS team for all your hard work. u guys are the reason i bought the epic =D ACS FTW!

edit- saw k0nane said it MAY be a kernel issue so if i get SOD again im gonna try the older kernel first to see if it continues to happen.

Battery Charging

Anybody have any issues with the battery taking hours to charge?

Accidentally let the the phone drain completely this morning, hooked it up the the usb charger at around 10am still charging at 3pm. When I unplugged it its only at 37%! I currently have it off charging to see if that helps also using a wall charger now.

I was using pandora while charging it but have done that in the past with no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
USB charges really slow. You need to plug it into the wall to get fast charges, especially when using it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
It must be, because I did the charge to full battery wipe thing out of habit and it made no difference. I never even set it 1.3ghz. Was running on 1.2ghz ondemand like I have with every other version. Even reflashed rom again and the battery drain was still there. Reverted to older version and all is well. I still think it's related to the TWS fix as everyone's phone has had different problems with TWS before hence this fix may have affected some phones differently.

If I downclock it to 1000mhz or 1200mhz it randomly freezes up requiring a battery pull. I was on 1.0.2 before flashing to 1.1.0. I have reloaded 1.1.0 multiple times and experienced the same issues. I wipe atleast 3 times everytime that I haved loaded 1.1.0, any ideas? I almost forgot to mention, I am having pretty bad battery drain on 1.1.0, it was very efficient on 1.0.2.

CCpotato asked If I could post this for him

can you post this for me since the new user restriction on here is ABSOLUTELY DRACONIC...

ive used syndicate for the last couple of builds , has been perfect every time w/o issues of stability or performance

on the latest build (ec05) based, ive had to reinstall the rom over 10+ times due to a combination of the below:

-fails to boot (stuck at ACS splashscreen)

-google service and other app FCs

--apps FCs interminably

-phone works for a while, then freezes ... solvable only by pulled battery, and on subsequent boots will exhibit above problems

-battery reading completely bonkers

-etc etc etc

phone was running official stock di18, flashed through the last couple of ACS builds (eg EB13, etc), odin with new ec05 modem, and multiple wipes and formats before each CWM3.0.0.6 based flash

more or less, syndicate 1.0.3 is absolutely unstable. ive since reflashed back to 1.0.2 and again it is running perfect
